Although I do not have an answer, we have experienced a very similar problem. We had limited success by tapping firmly on the vacuum switch (plastic cylindrical "hockey puck sized" unit), but that does not always work. We replaced that part but as before it would work for ~2 weeks then stop. Have you received any answers on this problem? Fred
